Ice barrel set made of Swiss wood «The Barrel»
What's included?
Note on the natural wood basin
Wood is alive – and that's a good thing. After a longer period of disuse without water, the wood will contract slightly.
When you refill your tub, fine gaps may be visible for a few days – this is not a defect, but a sign of genuine craftsmanship. The wood will swell, the joints will close on their own, and soon your bath will be as watertight as on the first day.
Our tip: It's best to always keep the tub filled with water – this way the wood remains permanently swollen and you can spontaneously jump in at any time.

This deposit is due before delivery and serves as security in case of late payment, damage, or non-contractual return of the property. The security deposit will be refunded no later than 30 days after the end of the rental agreement.

From ice bath fans to you
We are ourselves convinced users of ice baths and are constantly developing our offering.
The ice barrel
The wooden ice bath "The Barrel" is a high-quality, handcrafted, one-of-a-kind piece made in Switzerland from solid Swiss wood. You can choose between durable oak from old wine barrels or light, sustainable larch, thus individually defining the natural character of your ice bath. The design offers you a comfortable, seated position – a real eye-catcher and at the same time a particularly authentic ice bathing experience.
The cooling system
Enjoy your daily ice bath without long waiting times – our cooling system boasts a powerful 2000-watt cooling capacity and chills to a frosty 4°C in just 5 hours. Despite its powerful performance, it operates at only 59 decibels, making it one of the quietest cooling units on the market. Every day, you'll enjoy crystal-clear water thanks to our cooler's triple filtration system: particle filter, UV filter, and ozone generator. Combined with our chlorine-free active oxygen disinfectant, this marvel keeps your water pure for months. The entire cooling system for your ice bath can be conveniently monitored and controlled from anywhere via app or remote control.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Complete ice maker set with cooling
The most important questions and answers about our vertical ice bath set.
Should I buy The Barrel or The Tub ?
If you prefer to sit, we recommend The Barrel . If you want to stretch your legs, The Tub is right for you.
What temperature range does the cooling system support?
Our cooling system supports temperatures from 42 degrees to 2 degrees , which can be conveniently set via the display of the cooling system or an app.
How quickly can the water be cooled?
It takes just 5 hours to initially cool the water to 4 degrees. After that, the cooling system maintains the set temperature constantly.
There are already refrigerators on the market starting at a few hundred francs. Wouldn't those be sufficient?
The cheapest cooling units on the market only have a power output of around 300-800 watts. This means that cooling the water takes several days and leads only to frustration instead of enjoyment of the product.
For comparison: Our cooling system has a cooling capacity of 2000 watts and therefore only needs 5 hours to cool the water to a frosty 4 degrees.
How much electricity does the cooling system require?
The cooling system has a cooling capacity of 2000 watts. Thanks to its efficient operation, it consumes only 0.82 kWh of electricity at maximum cooling capacity. The cooling process stops automatically once the water reaches the desired temperature.
How loud is the cooling system?
With a noise level of 59db, this cooling system is among the quietest on the market.
use
Questions and answers about the correct use of our ice baths.
Can I use EPSOM salt?
Since salt can damage the cooling unit, it should not be used.
Can the ice bath be used outside?
Our pools and cooling system can be used outdoors. If you wish to use the cooling unit in winter, it is important that the water circulates constantly, especially if the temperature drops below 0 degrees Celsius. In consistently low temperatures below -5 degrees Celsius, we recommend moving the unit indoors.
If the cooling unit is still located outside, it should be switched on constantly (without a timer/time switch) so that it can heat up when temperatures are too low.
We also recommend protecting the cooling system from harsh weather conditions to extend its lifespan. Ensure the plug does not get wet and the socket is grounded.
How heavy is the ice bath? Can I put it on the balcony?
There's generally nothing wrong with that. However, check with your landlord about any weight restrictions that apply to your balcony. The following guidelines apply to the Horizon aquarium:
- Floor load capacity: 750 kg/m²
- Total weight when filled: 380 kg
- Capacity: 370l
How do I keep the water clean?
Our cooling system features triple filtration to keep the water clean ( particle filter, UV filter, and ozone generator ). Additionally, you can use our chlorine-free active oxygen disinfectant to keep the water usable for several months.
How often do I have to change the water?
This depends on three factors: how many different people use the pool, how regularly the pool is used, and whether people shower beforehand and enter the pool with clean feet. On average, with 1-2 uses per week and the use of our chlorine-free disinfectant, the water can remain in the tub for several months.
How many minutes should I stay in the ice bath?
You should stay in the ice bath for at least two minutes to fully benefit from the positive health effects. The recommended duration naturally depends on the temperature – a rule of thumb is that you can stay in the ice bath for a maximum of one minute per degree.
Are there health risks associated with ice swimming?
Ice bathing is a workout for your body and shouldn't be taken lightly. It's best to start with a temperature between 10-15 degrees Celsius and gradually reduce it over several weeks. If you have cardiovascular problems, you should avoid ice bathing. After your ice bath, make sure you warm up thoroughly.
What is the advantage of ice bathing over a cold shower?
The ice bath can be set significantly colder, down to a frosty 2 degrees Celsius! Furthermore, your entire body is surrounded by the cold, unlike when you shower and only certain areas are affected. Studies show that the health benefits begin below 15 degrees Celsius, which you won't achieve with a cold shower.
